Serious overkill Murray. The 1/2 inch would weigh a ton and you

I can't imagine 1/2" angle iron bringing much strength at all over 6
ft... and not that much weight either. Or maybe we're thinking
different things. I'm thinking about 1/8" thick steel angle with each
leg being 1/2" wide. Am I missing something??
